A girl with oral, facial, and digital anomalies presented at birth with a large cleft palate filled by a nasopharyngeal mass and was found later to have several vertebral anomalies and mental retardation. A similar phenotype has been previously reported in a sporadic male patient [Gabrielli et al., 1994: Am J Med Genet 53:290-293], suggesting a new variant form of oral-facial-digital syndrome.

Introduction: For years, the placenta was believed to be sterile, but recent studies reveal it hosts a unique microbiome. Despite these findings, significant questions remain about the origins of the placental microbiome and its effects on pregnancy and fetal health. Some studies suggest it may originate from the vaginal tract, while others indicate that oral bacteria can enter the maternal bloodstream and seed the placenta.

Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are established oncogenic drivers in various solid tumors. However, the approved FGFR inhibitors face challenges with acquired resistance and dose-limiting adverse effects associated with FGFR1/4 inhibition, limiting therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we systematically explored linker and electrophile moieties based on the pyrrolopyrazine carboxamide core and identified aniline α-fluoroacrylamide as an effective covalent warhead.

Background: Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is the most common apical radiopaque lesion that develops in the tooth-bearing area. However, large, destructive lesions are rare. Herein, we report a case in which COD extended to bilateral condyles, affecting the entire mandible, and was managed with denosumab rather than surgical resection.
